The paper describes the components that integrate the generation, storage and consumption of electrical energy from a combination of renewable and non-renewable sources that allow the emulation of a distributed generation network with the possibility of establishing technical criteria to recreate an intelligent network (Smart grid). The generation, storage and consumption components of the laboratory can interact through a control, monitoring and data acquisition system (SCADA) that allows automation of energy management for teaching and research purposes, as well as the possibility of interconnection with the local grid.es-ESMicrogridRenewable EnergyDistributed GenerationLaboratoryARTÍCULO DE CONFERENCIA10.1109/ROPEC.2017.8261615
